Correct Paint Thinning
 

Hello all, I'm almost ready to spray paint my latest project, a FOCKE-WULF TA-152H1. I'm looking for advise as to how much I should thin the Acrylic paint before spraying. I have several colors in 8 oz. cans. How many ounces of water would I need to add in order to get a decent quality spray? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Many thanks, [email protected]

For airbrushing with those little 2oz Acrylics that have the viscosity of butter I like to mix 50/50 paint to Windex. If I use water these paints tend to dry on the tip of the needle and cause splattering. The Windex seems to prevent this. I haven't tried it with a spray gun and normal paint.


You may want to do alot of test painting and try out diffrent mixes before you spray the FOCKE-WULF TA-152H1.
